Open-border advocates are furious over the addition of former Obama administration immigration expert Cecilia Muñoz to Joe Biden’s transition team, according to The Hill.
Muñoz, formerly with the National Council of La Raza before joining the Obama administration, was harshly criticized by immigration advocates for not doing enough for immigrant rights during her time in the Obama White House – and instead, “too often defended policies that led to the deportation of more than 2 million people.“

Many of us have been waiting to see what surprises the month of September would bring, and it appears that a stock market crash may be one of them. Even the most ardent market optimists were admitting that the absurd bubble that had developed over the course of the summer was completely unsustainable, and the only real debate was over when it would finally burst. So is this it? Stock prices have certainly plunged quite dramatically over the last several trading sessions, but it is always possible that things could stabilize for a little while. But whether it happens in September, October, November, December or next year, the truth is that everyone knows that a crash is coming.

Blackstone’s Byron Wien has been offering up his list of potential surprises for decades now. As with even the most prescient of Wall Street pundits, he’s got plenty of misfires to go along with his hits, but CNBC’s Jim Cramer once said, “you can make a fortune” from Wien’s work.
I rarely mention anytime I’ve been interviewed. However, I was reviewing a casual conversation I just finished with one of my readers, Bob Unger, and I thought Bob’s questions led to a well-rounded expression of how, over the past two years, our economy got to the collapse we are in now, how predictable the Federal Reserve’s policy changes and failures were, why economic recovery has stalled, and why the stock market was certain to crash twice this year, including why the second crash would likely hit around September.

President Trump announced in a Labor Day speech that 80 million mail-in ballots have already been sent out for the November election. Mail-in voting of this magnitude has never been tried in America. Mail-in voting is a long proven fraud. Gerald Celente, a top trends researcher and Publisher of The Trends Journal, says the massive cheating campaign by Democrats will not work. Celente explains, “Will the mail-in voting work for Democrats? It may. Will Trump accept it? No. . . . You hit these other guys, and they go down. Trump doesn’t go down. People don’t understand that. . . . Trump is a fighter. He’s not going to go down, and he will use the power of the Presidency to extend this thing as much as he can proving fraud and not leaving because of that. . . .”
